If Shels fail to beat Home Farm and we win our next two games, we will catch them. Drogs position scares me at the moment.
They should be well off the pace by now :(

The game against Drogs that they have in hand will be a big one.
But Hoefully we'll close the gap on them with two home wins and avoiding defeat in tolka is vital

At least this season we're getting a bit of balance where defeats are concerned.
the way thhe league is at the moment...wins are way more important that avoiding defeat as in you can afford to lose a few extra if you win the rest...way too many draws in the league...a few wins on the trot and you fly up the league....
Was at the Shels Bohs game last week and don't think I've seen a worse "top of the table game". Shels are rubbish to watch but are rock solid at the back. If we play the type of long balls into the front two that we've been relying on a lot this season, we'll get nowhere against them. Fenn and Georgey thru the middle is the only way to break them down IMO
Well it was hardly top of the table considering Bohs are 5th or 6th.
Taht said, they were in the same position this time last year.
We now appear a lot more solid than the first few games. Getting reasonable results & a good squad which copes fairly well with injuries even to key players.
Shel$ are still the strongest league team but would also be screwed if Jason Byrne was out long term. Could be said we are missing several first teamers in Hoggie, Coughlan, O'Flynn & Doyler.
That you dolan???Quote:

We are totally unable to play well for more than 45 minutes per match, and I confidently expect Home Farm to do us tomorrow night.
However, I thought we were crap for much of last season too.
Agree completely. A few wins are vital. Unbeaten runs are ok but you have to win 2 out of every three games to be challenging.Quote:

To be honest the standard of football in the league this season is the poorest I've seen in a while.
The City Waterford game last week was poor for a top 3 clash.
